The big brain
And the opposable thumb
The pinnacles of evolution
Powered by a huge appetite
And the drive for dominance
Proved unstoppable in the race
To oblivion
A short and quick jump
To the mechanized world
That ran away with existence
Trampled and burned
Raining flaming dollars
Sociopaths blinded by the vile measure
Push a ponzi Scheme of petroleum
Money and greed inevitable
as they separated themselves
From the Mother before
She readied them for
Their time at the wheel
Yachts of petro party girls
Ply the flaming seas
On a world made unlivable
The memory of the short time here
Now just another layer in the strata
New life pokes its hopeful head skyward
Begins the march to inevitable collapse
Somewhere someone laughs over tears
As life migrates inward towards the light
